I am using MS Access 2003 to open document templates in word 2003. If the
document template has standard text or merge fields, all is OK and the
document is loaded with appropriate Word toolbars. If you add a fill in
field to the document where the user is prompted for input, when the word
document is loaded, all toolbars are gone. Looks like an orphaned screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have heard of this, but have not been able to replicate it here

Does it make any difference if you start Word using Windows Start|Run...,
typing winword.exe /a in the "Open" box? if so, I suggest you follow

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...peningWord.htm

point 2 (even though it is discussing Word crashes, it is probably still a
good route to follow in this case).
